Name change question

Does filing your marriage license legally change your name??? I am trying to figure out passport stuff for the honeymoon....we are leaving 4 days afterwards, am I going to have a problem since my passport and license will have my maiden name on them??

I don't think so. You have to go to the DMV and SS to change your name officially. I would keep your passport in your maiden name.

Your marriage license should have your maiden name also bc otherwise it would look like your marrying a sibling or cousin!

book your honeymoon in your maiden name, to match your passport & license.

What she said. Your license doesn't change until you do it at the DMV and SS card at the SS office.

No, getting a marriage license has no bearing on your name.

Ditto. And that stuff takes forever.

Nope, my maiden. I guess I'll be fine then. Thanks girls!!

use FIs name when you book for the HM - that way you won't have any problems with the name change as far as HM vendors looking up your name. that's what i'm going to do.
